About the V98 Code Range
These accidents involve specified forms of transport, such as cable cars not on rails, land yachts, ice yachts, and ski lifts.
The subdivisions separate accidents involving V98.0 cable cars not on rails, V98.1 land yachts, V98.2 ice yachts, and V98.3 ski lifts. V98.8 is for other specified transport accidents.
The seventh character distinguishes an initial encounter (A), a subsequent encounter (D), or a sequela (S), a later effect of the accident.
